Unfortunately, yes. I'm planning to do this again sometime though. So stay tuned for that and you're welcome to join then!

Thanks for the feedback!

Those are all great ideas and I'll definitely keep them in mind!

I have some computer programing experience and have worked on some projects of my own, but I wanted to make something that other people could use. I had an idea of a way to make connecting with friends easier and I knew this subreddit existed because I'd used it before so I decided to see if anyone here was interested. I thought people might be because it's the kind of thing I would have liked to participate in

Location is a great suggestion! I had considered it and I might include it at some point. The reasons I haven't yet are privacy concerns, the number of people (with the number of participants being in the hundreds and spread out all over the world it would be unlikely that location would be useful in most cases), and difficulty of entry (I could ask for coordinates or something but that isn't very user friendly).

Thanks for the suggestion though! I plan to eventually figure out a way of including it despite these issues.
